A disastrous season. This has been the highlight that tells you!! Season ticket will be purchased tomorrow. I’m off out to enjoy my Sunday. Happy days Dees. Thank You.

Hello all, Just popping in to say congratulations on the promotion and I am looking forward to two trips to Gayfield next season. I took in a derby vs Brechin a few years back with my old man and thoroughly enjoyed it (unfortunately the Smokies were on the wrong side of a 2-0 defeat). Have already promised my better half a day out on the cliffs and an Arbroath smokie. Hope the heads are suitably sore. Thank You.

We started this season with a 7 game losing run in the league and could conceivably end it with a 12 game losing streak. That’s 19 games which is half a season of back to back defeats. We absolutely deserve to go down. It’s been a clusterfuck of a season and I think that’s why it doesn’t feel raw going down. We’ve not been good enough. If we’re punting McIntyre (for the love of god please punt him) then we’d be as well doing it now. No point keeping him in charge for the last 2 games. Punting him might help ST sales as well?? Regrettably I can foresee a scenario where we are 9th next season in October when he gets his jotters. Still, I’m always proud to be a Dee. Onwards and downwards (then upwards) Thank You.

Thought I would do a bit of research into our record with and against 10 men since we've been promoted. As it stands, since we have come up when we have faced 10 men we have scored 12 goals and conceded 11. When we have gone down to 10 men we have scored 2 goals and conceded 8. Obviously each game needs to be taken into context but generally speaking the data suggests that we don't really take advantage of being a man-up like other teams do of us when we get someone sent off. What did we learn? That I need to get a life. Thank You.

McIntyre out. Sebu in. Thank You.

All bankers coming in this week. The first week I’ve put them on a coupon so glad about that for obvious reasons. Thank you.

Well maybe it was my reading of it, but the comment reeked to me of “it isn’t funny because it was written by a woman”. Seemed to be insinuating that women writers aren’t as good. Maybe I’m wrong, and apologies if that’s the case although I don’t think I am. But I enjoy the show and there’s no point de-railing a thread about the show based on one comment, just thought it deserved to be pulled up.

I don’t think we ever had a towel in the first place m9.

Christ. You’re allowed to not think something is good. But dearie me “could tell it was written by a female?” Moronic comment

Nah we’ll be down by the last two. Then we will find our form and pump Livi and The Maureen’s, leading to optimism in the ranks. This will lead to Nelms giving McIntyre free reign to cause havoc in the summer and lead to us meandering to a salty 6th place finish in the Championship under new player-manager Kenny Miller (appointed Nov. 28 2019). Thank You.

We’d definitely still be fucked it McCann had stayed. I agree with the idea that McIntyre has made us worse, however. Last nights team selection looked to me like a complete guess. I’m shite at football manager and often punted. One of the last things I do is just throw random players in random positions to see if anything sticks and last night stank of that to me. If we lose on Saturday that’ll be 7 defeats in a row. Hartley got his jotters for that and McCann not long after a similar run. This appointment has been a total disaster and even if we somehow stay up (unlikely) McIntyre should be punted into the Tay. Unfortunately I fear we will keep him and he’ll f**k up our start to the Championship next year, resulting in a change of manager in November and then us scrambling to try make the playoffs at best. Apologies for the pessimism. Usually I’m rather upbeat. Thank You.

Has there been a more detestable Dee in recent memory than Woods? I’m trying not to let recency bias cloud my memory: Hateley I hated with a passion but I think I’d rather have him that the charlatan that is Woods. Useless on the ball, yet fancies himself as a player. Loves the Hollywood shots and passes which he cannot execute and he actually makes sure he is marked when others have the ball. An absolute imposter. Can anyone think of a more hated player?

I am. But for more personal reasons. My Auntie (actually was a Dons fan) passed away last year and was generous enough to leave me a wee bit of cash. She used to take me to the football a lot at Dens when I was wee, would sit in with me even if we were playing Aberdeen. The first win I ever saw was a 2-0 win over the sheep with Tom Cowan scoring a belter. Anyway, I’ve never had a season ticket and when I found out about the money I decided that it would be good to get one to honour that time we had together. Football is about more than just the matches and the time we spent at Dens or on away trips and chatting about it I’ll always cherish so that’s why I’m getting one. Seems fitting. If this wasn’t the case though there’s not a chance I’d be getting one!

I’ve listened to the podcast for years so no surprise I am really enjoying the TV show. Last weeks effort was superb and actually my stepdad who is a stereotypical grump (and a ***) really enjoyed it too. This weeks wasn’t quite as good but you expect that as they’re finding their feet. The segments on Cult Heroes was class though and I’d love to see that done. I agree re the Albion Rovers stuff, it seemed a bit too indulgent to CGT (which usually I’m all for on the podcasts) IMO it would have worked better with him asking what would have happened if they had gotten through and putting bits of his theory in there rather than rambling on. Live and learn though. The features are excellent with the two Duncans, Rachel Small and SOD particularly impressing.

I feel this is one of those situations where if we let Cammy go and St Johnstone took him, they’d give him his confidence back and he’d improve immeasurably. Tommy Wright seems to be able to reinvigorate players (Shaughnessy, Watt, Kennedy, Swanson, Craig) to name more than a few. We would then be scratching our heads as to why we ever let him go. The boy needs confidence. I wonder how much the responsibility of being Vice Captain had on him last year as since then he has regressed. Although his form has dipped I’d be keeping Cammy. Gowser can get to f**k though. He’s been average at best for the last two seasons and is past it. Couldn’t help but notice him screaming at Dieng after the Hamilton goal the other week too. Passion is good but needless screaming when someone makes an error will lead the new boys into shiting themselves whenever they get the ball. Thank You.

My feelings on the game yesterday were that we still didn't look very good, but Accies were woeful. The boy Brustad was honking and McMann was determined to give us a goal via a throw-in. Don't get me wrong, I'm delighted with the 3 points, and we needed the win, we definitely had a bit more zip about us for the end of the first half after the goal and then brought that into the start of the second. Naturally given our position we began to shite ourselves the longer the game went on and Accies really could've had a point looking at the opportunities they missed. We were at absolute panic stations towards the end. Didn't realise how shocking a miss that Accies one was that went across the box until seeing it back, christ! Great goal to seal the win and brilliant to see Roarie back. Hopefully the win kicks us on now. Even though I don't think we played well, the fact that we have won might bring a bit of confidence back to the players and we can look to build on that with some better performances. Clearly meant a lot to the players at the end when everyone joined in the goal celebrations and Nabi was going mental on the sidelines. Thought Miller looked good (although not a defender) and Kallman was a handful, he seemed to do well with what I'd considered lost balls quite a few times. When he decides he wants to Elton looks like a great wee player, but he needed both Kamara and Kerr to tell him to get the finger out yesterday. Special mention to my man of the match, Lewis Spence. He's been a bit of a figure of ridicule between me and my mates, he always tries hard but doesn't look up to much but yesterday he was superb. Composed, level-headed and controlled a lot of the play in midfield I felt. Fingers crossed we're off the mark and can continue this now. Who the f**k really cares how you perform as long as you get the three points eh? Thank You.

Just for those who have not seen the start of this seasons meltdown across the road.

Shame it never clicked for El Bakh. Kept thinking once he got one the goals would flow but it just never worked out that way. Will be interesting to see how he does in the Championship. A couple goals against Yinited would do me fine.

There will be soon! Give me a few weeks and it'll be posted on the Clyde thread, working my way round the teams

Need another defender too. When is Gadz back? Punt Julen and Hateley and free up some wages please. Thank You.

Thanks for the feedback. The ones at the turn of the millennium are tricky for most clubs- hard to find out exactly who the players are when making the quizzes as well, but I did them for all the SPFL Premiership clubs so it is only fair that I apply it to the rest of the teams, and it provides more of a challenge! Unless they joined the league structure later.

Well wishings for the season Fifers. I've made a quiz for you to enjoy- can you name the East Fife top scorers per season? Only need to type surnames in here: https://www.sporcle.com/games/purplefrogg6/east-fife-top-5-scorers-since-9899 Have a go and let me know what you think. Thank You. P.s. I'll try not to come to many games this season, managed three last year and EF lost 1-0 in each...sorry

A semi? A SEMI?! For big Moussa's hat-trick? Go hard or go home m9. Suppose you're right in a way though, he's not proven as a Premiership level striker yet. Luckily he's been knocking them past teams from the tinpot leagues* so shouldn't have any problem against dayglo b*****ds like yourself. Thank you. *stay doon
